Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 819: Chapter 382: Reinforcements from the Past

The human warriors always remain vigilant for the possible appearance of the Ghost Immortal.

This rift leading to the future of the Scale Remains Civilization was opened by this Ghost Immortal.

Using the thin immortal bloodline in the Jing Family’s veins, he opened the top layer of the Carefree Treasure Tower and also opened the anchor point of the Time Tree.

He is undoubtedly one of the culprits of this Calamity!

After the Calamity struck, the nearest Li Yelai and the heavily injured Jing Liang were swept away by the roaring seawater. Li Yelai was unfortunate and got swallowed by the Ba Snake midway.

However, Jing Liang indeed had some skills, escaping from beneath the sea with Jing Tianming’s corpse and reuniting with the Jing Family’s warriors.

At the same time, he brought intelligence about the Ghost Immortal.

This Returning Soul was born from an immortal corpse, with a Spiritual Power Strength of only the Sixth Sense, but possessing the strong immortal body, along with extremely miraculous knowledge, making his danger level skyrocket.

Such a dangerous individual might still be hiding in some corner of the battlefield, keeping the human warriors constantly on alert.

The Ghost Immortal plans to use the Calamity to destroy the Immortal Palace, liberating himself from its shackles.

Thus he will never allow humans to successfully defeat the Calamity.

We must remain cautious to avoid being ambushed.

Li Yelai felt a regretful sigh upon learning that the Ghost Immortal was a corpse being.

This represents a gap in intelligence; if only Li Yelai had known he was a corpse being prior to confronting the Ghost Immortal.

The Ghost Immortal is naturally strong, with an immortal body nearly invincible within the Immortal Palace. Judging by physical strength alone, he can crush all human warriors.

But Li Yelai has a method specifically for dealing with corpses, the Nether River Horn!

If he had known this intelligence earlier, Li Yelai would have used the Nether River Horn at the first meeting to revive that immortal corpse.

Perhaps that rift would never have opened.

Humans might have even gained a powerful ally.

Immortals or the Heavenly Palace Civilization…at least they appear indistinguishable from humans, and among them is the Solar Piercing Hero, Da Yi, from human mythology.

Humans have speculated that this Heavenly Palace Civilization might be a powerful civilization belonging to humanity, but was destroyed in a certain war.

If the Heavenly Palace Civilization still existed, humans wouldn’t have to struggle so hard.

Moreover, if an Immortal were revived, even for just eight hours or so, humans could receive aid from the past.

Unfortunately, Li Yelai and the human warriors currently have no opportunity to find the Ghost Immortal to settle the score, but are desperately attacking the Scale Corpse Strongman, trying to block them back before the rift closes.

During this intense moment, Li Yelai saw that pillar of light connecting heaven and earth, and the silhouette appearing within the light pillar.

That was the Ghost Immortal!

Damn, is there still such luck?

I’ve struck fortune!

“Doll!” Without any hesitation, Li Yelai decisively switched his Face, transforming into Wolf Vanquisher of Juxu Huo Qubing, the Shadow Army Swift as the Wind, and charged towards the Ghost Immortal.

He retrieved the jade-black horn from the ark’s storage space.

At the same time, the Doll skillfully manipulated the airflow, creating an acceleration path for Li Yelai.

And twisted the airflow into a vacuum, preventing the horn’s sound from transmitting elsewhere.

The effect of the Nether River Horn is to temporarily ‘awaken’ all corpses who ‘hear’ the horn, provided they are intact, especially if their brain is well-preserved!

Moreover, the more corpses awakened, the greater the cost.

Li Yelai’s ability to awaken the Champion Team One of its peak era without bearing the cost was entirely thanks to the Wise Stone he acquired within the Great Snow Mountain, which took the cost for him.

At this moment, they are amidst a bloody battlefield.

If the horn were used directly, it might revive countless beings, including human comrades, and even more enemies.

The consequent cost would be unbearably terrifying.

The finger-sized Wise Stone that Li Yelai has might not be able to withstand it.

Thus, the Doll controlled the airflow to create a vacuum and storm, limiting the spread of sound.

Li Yelai then blew the horn!

Almost instantly, the finger-thick Wise Stone in Li Yelai’s embrace shrank rapidly into the size of a fingernail.

And seeing this scene, Li Yelai felt a relief inside.

“Success!”

Meanwhile, in outsiders’ view, Li Yelai charged toward the Ghost Immortal from afar but suddenly halted for some unknown reason.

Almost simultaneously, an angry roar resonated within the Void Realm.

“Who dares to offend my Heavenly Court!”

Upon hearing this roar, the Daoist’s shadow on the cliff laughed and clapped: “This is the most exciting moment! Immortal return!”

At that moment, the dark aura on the Ghost Immortal’s face dissipated like spring snow, revealing a soaring Haoran Righteousness.

At that moment, a quiet palace within the Immortal Palace emitted light, seemingly welcoming back its master.

At that moment, the whole Immortal Palace vibrated, seemingly cheering for an ally’s return.

At that moment, the Scale Remains Saint Emperor walking the river of time paused his steps. The strongest of the Yunling Civilization frowned involuntarily.

At that moment, in an unknown location, the Ghost Immortal Yu Tian let out a terrifying wail.

Why, why did this corpse suddenly revive?

He felt as though everything, body, treasures, even consciousness were being violently stripped away.

But this wasn’t stripping away, it was… returning to the rightful owner!

Ghost Immortal Yu Tian, no, it should be Jade Heaven Immortal. He opened his eyes, his gaze like thunder, sweeping across the Immortal Palace.

In merely an instant, he comprehended everything transpiring within the Immortal Boat.
